Here's a little drawing I made, partly so the school would have something nice to keep, partly to test the marker pens, and partly because I never know what to do when people are filing into the auditorium; it makes me go slightly shy.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/elians_drawing_zpsaf7df643-b76a576279.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nOh, one thing I should mention! I bought \u003Ci>Croqueta y Empanadilla\u003C/i> at a book fair in town today; the book's in Spanish, but even so, it was making me laugh. It's by Barcelona comics creator \u003Ca href=\"http://anaoncinart.blogspot.com.es/\">Ana Oncina\u003C/a>. Croquette & Patty are the cutest bits of stodge you ever did meet. (Their creator is \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AnaOncina\">@AnaOncina\u003C/a> on Twitter.) She's appearing at the fair tomorrow, but sadly we'll have moved on by then.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/ana_oncina_zps79a5df0e-5576fb6d95.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more Click here for more under the cut!-->\\r\nBack to the school visit... the school building was remarkably swish and modern. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/elians_british_school_zps03154384-bd4fbf7254.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI was so busy all day that I didn't get much chance to take photos, but here's an ace Captain Waffle, from \u003Ci>You Can't Scare a Princess!\u003C/i>. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/elians_capnwaffle1_zpscae86f43-26c4c7e5c4.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/elians_groupshot_zpscac9725d-5623bd251e.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/elians_capnwaffle2_zpsdde2a3d0-a2c34d2f73.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nA couple more things... this made me laugh: I saw this book in the school reception and my mind imediately filled in the blanks, translating the title as \u003Ci>Disturbing your baby and derailing its intelligence\u003C/i>. My Spanish isn't so hot.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/disfruta_bebe_zpsb3638d4d-cc88596f86.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nLast night, we'd gone for Chinese food, but tonight we went to \u003Cb>Meson Navarro\u003C/b> to eat something more traditional to the town. I tucked into this terribly picturesque endive arrangement. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/castellon_endive_zps1c030fda-69290a513b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd then my hosts Gary and Ana and I had tea on the square near our hotel. Early start tomorrow for the next school and I'm off to bed... over and out!","2014-05-06T22:45:00.000Z","spain-book-tour-castellon",[],"spain book tour: castellón",1776628726397]
